We are pleased to announce the release of Patch 2.60 for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory�. This patch includes optimizations and addresses new client and server issues found since the release of 1.03. There's also extended mod-maker support and a Mac client available! All existing players and server administrators should install the patch - see the included ReadMe for a list of �What�s New� and installation instructions. Note that after you have updated, you will only be able to play on servers that are also running the updated version. If not, you may receive a �protocol� error. Our thanks go to the ETPro mod team for all their work on this patch and to Brad Oliver at Aspyr for the Mac client, plus of course id Software, Activision and the beta testers for providing the resources and support to make this patch for a free game possible!

The draw distance is considerably higher in the PC version.

Real reflections on buildings can be seen in a screenshot. Real reflections will also be visible on cars and shiny floors.

The German version will be censored of blood, you also won't be able to mug people for money.

You can forget washed out textures from the PlayStation 2 version. The PC version will not be a 1:1 copy of the PS2 version, but a whole new graphical experience.

It is not yet confirmed how the 2-player mode will work on the PC.

The PC version will allow you to import your own MP3 for listening on the radio. You can even specify an MP3 folder on your hard disk, which the radio will play songs from between advertisements and DJ commentary.

As of writing the preview, the game is 90% complete and ready to be released in June (June 7 in USA and June 10 in Europe).

The Devils Reef Promotional Video has just been released showing exclusive in-game footage of �The Devils Reef� and showing off the true power of the Source/Halflife II engine! There are two links where you can obtain this Promotional Video.

We are still seeking New Team Members , so If you have any Mapping skills with Hammer, Modeling Skills, 2D art Skills or Coding Skills or Voice Acting Skills I would love to hear from you, just drop me an email to Katncraig86@hotmail.com

We plan to release updates regularly now, every week and keep you informed about the progress of our mod!

Today we can show you 4 screenshots out of our beta build, tested together with The Wild Bunch Clan. Thank you very much for your support and tips, guys! Also, our King Tiger has been optimised and it got a new texture.

Also, I want to add that we want to thank WoT for his great help with weapon exporting into CoD. Check out his excellent Vietnam Mod Vietnam: Operation Phoenix!

Here are the screenshots:

German Front Mod

Rebellion is a multiplayer modification for Half-Life 2 that is based on the week long insurrection against the Combine during the Half-Life 2 storyline.

There will be two gameplay modes implemented in the modification; cooperative and team based multiplayer. Both modes are based around assault and defense gameplay, where one team defends an objective from the other team. However, in cooperative play, the players will be the guerilla rebellion forces defending against the Combine forces.

Half-Life 2 Capture the Flag Update ��
12:28 | by Al3xand3r
The Half-Life 2 Capture the Flag team has posted an update on their website. It is detailing some of their progress since the last patch and also letting their fans know that they can now vote and decide the direction certain aspects of this project may take.

Now that Beta 1.2 has been out for a few days, we've gotten a lot of feedback about the changes we've made. The feedback about changes made to the speed and sprint in particular are the focus of a lot of complaints. I won't go into the justification for why those were added (see the forums), but it seems that we under-estimated how many people really liked Beta 1.1 movement, and we've also heard from a lot of people who like the 1.2 movement. Hit the polls in the forum and let us know what you think.

As an extra tidbit, here's what we've been working on since 1.2:

Fixed longstanding HL2DM underwater sound death bug

Fixed auto team balance keeping you dead

Performance optimizations on ctf_dirtwork

Fixed cl_autoweaponswitch not working in some situations

Added notice for auto team switches

Toying with the idea of restoring 1.1 movement via a cvar. Let us know what you think.

The rockets fly straight and the weapon sounds are rescripted, and Rocket Jumping is back! The rocket launcher is completly done.

I basically endulge myself in modelling and animating, but when I found out the Rocket Jumping worked I had to design a map just for it. It's called qs_jump and will be included with qs_q2dm8 and qs_q2dm1

Added a few standardized Counter-Strike options such as Footsteps On/Off, Force Respawn On/Off, etc.

Recorded some promo videos that are currently in post production and not quite ready to release yet, but will be here in the next day or two

Visit the main site to find a link to our .plan Developers Journal Archive System coded by Yours Truly (not quite done yet).

Map status: qs_q2dm8 = 100%, qs_q2dm1 = 75%, qs_jump = 80%

Tiberian Update

Tiberian Aftermath

What you can't see in the screenshots are the other tweaks that the new engine brings to the table. Take sound for instance; The sounds in the beta sound far richer and deeper than in the original DoD. They help draw the payer into the game and make it more believable.

What did you learn from previous experience that is being implemented in Pariah?

We've been making FPS games for about 9 years now so we brought a lot of experience to the table when starting Pariah. This may seem obvious but ultimately the most important thing in an FPS is the weapons. People want to see and feel like they're using really kick-ass weapons so we spent a lot of time not only on the look of the weapons but also the feel and the weapon system with the upgrades.
